Those Sweet Potatoes
Enrich Your Drinks
Sweet potatoes offer far more nutrients to the body than the common white
potato. They are very good for soothing digestive upsets and are known
to target the health of the stomach and spleen in Eastern medicine. This
deep orange potato is rich in a wide spectrum of nutrients and is best eaten
with the skin on to ensure its nutrients are intact. Enjoy them raw together
with other green vegetables in a juice, or mashed with a touch of coconut
oil and cinnamon added into the mix.
Water is crucial for numerous bodily functions and helps the kidneys to flush
out toxins. Experiment by including grated ginger and lemon before meals
to aid digestion or drinking warming liquorice tea. Cloves are also great
when added into teas and work a treat to help support the kidneys and
boost circulation on cold winter days.
